To the Editor:

Legal non-citizens are eligible for “Obamacare.” I believe this is why there’s a big push by President Barack Obama to give illegal immigrants legal status. I think the goal is to put these foreign-born workers on government-subsidized health care.

Some will say that illegal immigrants already cost the taxpayers money for health care through state charity care. I say these foreigners should go back to the miserable countries they came from, and the greedy employers who hire them should go to jail.

Businessmen who want the taxpayers to subsidize their labor are not capitalists — they are socialists.

Obamacare won’t help the middle class. The cost of health insurance is still rising faster than the rate of inflation. Obamacare is just another social-welfare program for the poor — the people who have been made poor by our immigration and trade policies.

Liberals will not attack these policies because they don’t care about the poor at all. These hypocrites are just helping rich people get cheaper labor by advocating for these programs. For greedy businessmen, virtues have taken a back seat to the love of money.

This is why I say, raise taxes on the rich to pay for the $17 trillion debt and to pay for Obamacare. Make them pay the medical expenses of foreign-born workers who took jobs away from American workers.

Raise the highest federal income tax bracket to 50 percent. Raise the capital gains tax on investment income above $50,000 a year, and do away with the charity deduction. If someone gets a tax deduction for donating to a charity, then I don’t consider it charity. Also, raise import tariffs to punish corporations that send their production overseas.

Wall Street, with the help of its socialist friends, is determined to wage war against the American middle class and replace it with an immigrant, peasant work force on government subsidies.
